The first annual Waterfront Strength Showcase was a big hit! Not even Mother Nature could stop these guys and gals from shining. 😎

We had almost all first time competitors for a VERY rainy day, but we still made the most of it! Lots of new PR’s, skills learned, weights lifted and friends made.

We would like to thank Captain Roy’s for helping make this all happen, Iowa Spine+Performance for coming out to hold a table and look after the competitors, and all of our competitors for making the day everything we hoped for and more!

Next year will be bigger, better, and hopefully drier! 💪🏻🤣

My day at could not have gone better, literally. I got 9/9 lifts with not a single red light and PRs across the board! 🤯 I also got first place... In my division of one 😂

Squat: PR of 87.5kg / 192.7lbs (I included my opener in the slides too bc it moved so well!)
Bench: PR of 55kg / 121.25lbs
Deadlift: PR of 120kg / 264.5lbs

Elizabeth and I make a great team - she pushes me and gets me out of my comfort zone and gets me to believe in myself more and more. I’ve learned so much and gained so much confidence since last year’s Iowa Games - it’s fun to look back on, and I’m proud of all the progress I’ve made. Before I started lifting, I never in a million years would have thought I could hit these numbers.

Shout out to everyone at Des Moines Barbell Club for making this experience so positive! The support I get is unmatched, and we have such a fun group of ladies to compete with, too. 🥰
